No one seems to have beensuccessful this time.But, we are glad Rio knows thatwe hold many long distance receiving records In Hawaii, but requesting us to pick up their voice andmusic from over 8000 miles awaywas a little too much for us.While tuning for Ilio the editorsucceeded in picking up a piano selection from 2X1, the General Electric broadcasting station at Schenectady, New York, something like 7,000 mllea away. Watch out, Bio,we'll gft you yit.Well, folks are you working forthe receiving set to be given awayby thi:i large and enterprising newspaper? The wivner will be a luckyfelli r. This little receiver picks upHonolulu radiophone stations greatand the large stations on the coast.Willie I am writing this, the Timesradiopl.one station of Los Angelesis giving us a dandy concert. Wonderful singers, violin and orchestra selections.The Times station Is one of thefinest on the Pacific coast and gives you a wonderful program eachnight. Folks better make that Xmaspresent a radio set and listen In onthese artists playing for Radio Land.They used to say that a good radioamateur must have red hair, largeears and a girl haters. No so anymore. If you have a good radio setand can bring in those concertsfrom Radio Land ,tho girls will likeyou. Be sure and have an extra pairof phones for her.Some times we think it takesqueer stuff to fill this column, butwe like to tell you what we hearout of the air, where to the oHmaryobserver there Is nothing but clouds,sunshine and sometimes rain andthings that fly.If you can understand the wireless code you get a bigger thrill tohear the far off stations working.We're going to run over into thunext column and tell about a radiobug.A RADIO BUGIt looked almost human, In fact,it looked like a boy well along Inhis teens. Feverishly soldering andresoldering numerous wires, It seemed to be assembling a number ofobjects upon a shiny black panel,all the time mumbling strange wordssuch as "Where's that rheostat?""I can't turn the condenser," andmi on. Sometimes a sound thatseemed to signify Joy would be emitted, and it would pause and surveyits work with a look of delight,("nils to meals were Ignored, requests to go on errands were treated in the same manner. Suddenly itceased operations and, in a voicesuppressed by emotion, exclaimed:"Done! Gosh I hope It works." Wiresleading to batteries were quicklyconnected and perched on the edgeof a chair with two round objectsadjusted over Its ears, began withtrembling fingers to turn and adjust the various dials and kng)s onthe instrument. A look of incredible wonder spreads over its face.Then with eyes glowing with Jayand success It leaps to its feet andgives out a shout such as Columbusmight have uttered when he sightedland. Whoops, its coming in great.Music from KYZ two hundred milesaway. Someone singing from anther station. It begins to prance aroundthe room and its chest expandingmore and more.Its identity is solved. It U Radio Bug.Hawaii is always up to the miuute with its radio. The Mutual system has installed a new tube C.W.transmitting set in the main officein Honolulu and your radio messagesare now received and ser.t from theoffice in the center of Honolulu,insuring speeding service.A question that has been askedmore times than can be remembered, "You only have wireless here.You don't have radio, do you?"Folks ot Radio Land, don't be misled. The same apparatus la used toreceive what you term radio andalso by wireless. There is no difference, both are the same. Whenyou use a radio or wireless set y uarc using the . identical appctrntusthat the operators .use to receivemessages with. Your radio will pickup wireless just as easily as theradiophone.WIRELESSTAST HCCUKHTI INTEIHJLRNI JttVKS.COPC .15NltMT CSTTI (lT 1 wl l-OJcrcm ditiomv .tTH0NE:TR7 121NlGHT 13LJAUTUfU.
